You have figures to back that up?Convenient how those poll are done, how many actually ask: Do you support forcing businesses to provide services they religiously object to?
You ask that question in one of your polls and get back to me on how I'm in the minority. Polls are designed to get a predetermined result most of the time just by the way they phrase their questions.
You mean a poll that asks should we go back to the pre Civil Rights......"We don't sereve n*ggers here"?
There ya go again, trying to compare the homo's situation to the black's plight. Not even comparable
We aren't comparing blacks to gays...we're comparing bigots to bigots.
That's funny when the majority of blacks in California voted in favor of Proposition #8.
Let me help get you going.
How many blacks in California?
How many blacks are registered to vote in California?
How many blacks registered to vote actually voted in California?
How many blacks registered to vote in California voted yes on Prop H8?
And how do you know how black people voted?
WAPO seems to think they know how black people voted in California. But of course Prop 8 was passed in 2008 when President Obama also opposed same sex marriage.
. . .Los Angeles County -- the state's most populous -- is particularly interesting to look at. In LA County, Prop. 8 won a narrow majority of 50.1 percent. But, President Obama carried the county with a whopping 69 percent.
The discrepancy? African American voters, who were overwhelmingly in favor of banning same sex marriage (70 percent supported Proposition 8) even as they supported Obama even more heavily (94 percent). And, to a lesser degree, Hispanic voters followed that same trend -- backing Prop. 8 by a 53 percent to 47 percent margin while giving President Obama 74 percent. . .

And of course now the polls indicate the vote would have gone differently, but President Obama reversed his opinion about same-sex marriage once he was safely in office. Did that make the difference. Who knows? Who cares?
The point with the vote in Indiana is not an issue of same-sex marriage--court after court has ruled against discrimination against same-sex marriage whether or not it is the right thing to do. The law is not a license to discriminate any more than the law in those 29 other states is a license to discriminate. Indiana's law is not substantially different from any of those others.
It is almost like the backlash against the Indiana law is strictly from progressive activists who don't want any restrictions put on their ability to bash Christians or other religious for following or stating their faith.
At any rate it is much ado about pretty much nothing, and is bringing out the bigoted and silly more than anything else.
